Monday Short

I’ve
written a short story: In Lord Shadow’s House- here is the first few paragraphs
of it:

Jarius
Knigglesby has a problem, besides his unfortunate name. His problem is Bridget
O’Fallen, she being the most beautiful woman Jarius has ever seen.

Every morning on his way to work, Jarius
stops by the coffee stand where Bridget O’Fallen can be found pouring her
lively brew into any passerbyers' mug.

“Good morning to you, sir,” she would
always say to each of them, but Jarius thought it was to him alone that she
addressed in that manner.

He’d say his own good mornings before
heading on his way, with dreams of Bridget O’Fallen dropping her name and
taking his instead. Such fancies were not his problem; men can live for years
on such things without any harm to their persons. The problem came when he
decided to act upon it.

Jarius stood outside the small shelter,
waiting for his turn for a filling. His mug was clenched tightly in his hand as
he replayed in his mind over and over her delighted surprise. It was so fixed
in his mind that it felt as though it had already happened.

“Good morning to you, sir,” she spoke to
the man in front who, unfortunately for Jarius, had lived in reality some of
the fantasies that Jarius had only dreamt of.

Come back next Monday for the next
segment.

Also, I’ve been putting my A to Z
flash pieces on Wattpad- Check it out herefor a recap

A special thank you to all of you that
offered to help blast my book out there on the first of November (unless
otherwise noted)
